Depends on the org. Fitty fitty is good enough for most roles.

Team fit 1000%. And by extension, having the right manager. If your manager values your work and your attitude, and is able and willing to coach you and vouch for you, the rest is easy.

I’ve been with firms for 6 years. I struggle (not that I’m not intellectually capable of doing this job), I just hate the detail oriented nature of this industry. Everything gets scrutinized so carefully and most things I stayed up late for doesn’t matter.
